Bit of a strange one - Manback custom air intake

[Harry_manback]

so, since my last project to get electrolysis fitted to the air intake so that id get hydrogen burning in my car got shot down, i have been thinking of a new way to get air from the road to the engine, now most cold feeds i have seen, seem to just take warm air from near the back of the radiator, and as i have air con this means i have 2 radiators making it even harder to get cold feed. so i sat and i realised the answer is already engineered into my car.
so i have designed the pods below, they fit on the bottom slitter, and take a decent amount of air straight to the existing intake pipe.

you can laugh if you want, most of my ideas get shot down.

thats a lot of pipework for a cold air feed!

a lot of work for not a lot

 

[Harry_manback]

yeh but its almost invisible, no holes required. plus as its so low the pipes can go under the radiators

Yeah sounds like a good idea, rally cars use the same concept of forcing more air into the system

Tell you what, they'd be ideal for brake ducts too!

(beats removing fog-lights).

lol.. great minds.. first thing I thought.

The intakes look a little small to provide any decent air flow.

love the idea but imagine sucking water up in the rain (if you have an enclosed induction)
